gether to compare notes, and then
separated to take their allotted parts in
forwarding the intelligence or holding
themselves in readiness for whatever
might occur. Numbers of people of all
descriptions crowded into the Office,
eagerly inquiring as to the particulars
of the event. The news of Lingg's deed
spread through the city like fash and
everyone is discussing it. Now that the
bomb maker has attempted his life, the
friends OF the other Anarchists will re-
double their efforts in behalf of the
condemned men.
Lingg. presented
MOST HORRIBLE SIGHT.
The lower part of his jaw was CON-
pletely torn off and his thick, auburn
hair is matted with blood. His cheeks
we're torn out and hung down in jagged
pieces on his neck. His teeth were
knocked out, the gums torn away, and
out small stump of his tongue an
peared, protruding from his mangled
throat. In the upper part of the
throat, Immediately under the lower
part of the jaw bone, terrible gap was
torn out from the inside. The ball OF
the thumb of the left hand, with which
he had touched off the explosive in his
mouth, was torn open.
The physician in charge now says
that
LINGG CANNOT RECOVER
from the terrible shock, and to all ap-
pearance the man cannot live through
the day.
When the explosion occurred, all the
Anarchists prisoners were on their
feet in an instant, and every one of
them looked stunned and frightened.
Jailor Folz at one gave orders
to have every one of the cells searched,
and Parsons was the first one the
descent was made upon. When EngeI
was being searched he completely broke
down and cried like q child and is still
so Frustrated that he has not vet been
put back into his cell,
The agent which had served Lingg TO
accomplish his mornings work, was
small Illuminating cap, little over an
inch. 1t had been filed with illuminate
of mercury and the small fuse, which
is usually attached to these instruments
of death, had been touched off by Lingg
at the time the reporter thought be was
lighting cigar.
WHEN LINGG COMMITTED THE DEED
he was lying on his face, on his cot.
After the affair, when his cell was
searched, another candle was found.
At the top of it, barely concealed by
the ends of the wick, second fuImin-
ating cap was found. So it is supposed
that Lingg's attempted suicide was
committed with one similarly hidden.
The candles were furnished by the Jail
so that the caps must have been put in
by Lingg himself.
At 2.55 Lingg died.
EFFECT OF THE SUICIDE AT SPRINGFIELD
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, November 10.-In-
tense excitement prevails here over the
crisis in the all-absorbing Anarchist
case. The governor is closeted in his |
office and refuses TO see anyone. Action |
of some kind is expected every hour. A |
has just hurried to the man |
sion with the intelligence that Lingg |
has blown his head off with a dynamite |
cap. The governor is said to have alb |
stained from all expression of surprise |
or horror at the news. 1t is confdt ntly |
believed here that the governor will, to- |
day, commute the sentence of Fielden. |
Spies and Schwab to imprisonment for |
life or varying terms, or grant tenn
porary respite to all the condemned |
men.
THE PROSPECTS FOR GLEN sNCY.
There is no longer room for 'ubt
that the case of every Anarchist who |
maintains refusal to ask for clemencv |
is hopeless. Governor Ogiesby asked |
one of the leading friends of the An |
last evening, if he thought |
could reasonably be expected |
for a man who refused to ask it. This |
is regarded as
A CONCLUSIVE INITIATION
that no clemency will be extended to
any of those who persist in their refusal
TO ask for mercy.
Captain Black has telegraphed friends
here that he hopes to secure q petition |
for clemency for Parsons this morning. |
When it is received, he will doubtless |
at once wire the Governor of his sue
cess in that direction, and ask his ex. |
